Comparing geekbench to Core i7 Mac Pros you are getting maybe...two cores worth of power, maybe three. The client is only 32-bit in the ports and it does use the linux compatibility, my system is scoring 3495 so you are write to wonder.<div>

OO 3.1.1 just went final so maybe there&#39;s some tuning they did with the
point release. 3.1 does run a bit laggy on my old clunker abuse box as
well.<br><font color="#888888"><br>

running FF3.5.2 on a 4 year old Toshiba laptop with a 1.5Ghz processor
and 1.2 GB RAM with XP actually loads Gmail faster by a hair.
Opening a small text doc in OO takes about 20 seconds on PCBSD but 24
seconds on the laptop.<br><br>
Very disappointed so far.<br><br>
